Live In Sydney? Come And Watch My Show!
Posted by Logan Booker at 12:30 PM on July 26, 2008
Time for your off-topic weekend post! You've been warned.
A good friend and I are putting on two shows in August at UNSW's Studio One - The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter, and The Zoo Story by Edward Albee. Not sure what they're about, here's a description:
The Dumb Waiter: An absurdist comedy set in England, that finds two hitmen waiting in a room for instructions on their next target. As things get more and more bizarre, tensions rise...So, if you live in Sydney, and don't have plans between August 12-16, book yourself a ticket or two and prepare for some great theatre. I'll even be there, doing the whole director thing, if the prospect of meeting me excites you. I know it gets me tingling.The Zoo Story: Seemingly at random, Jerry approaches Peter, who is trying to read peacefully on a park bench. Despite Peter's protests, Jerry simply keeps talking with furious intent, about his apartment, about his family, about his life and about a dog... what is it that he wants?

Sounds a treat, though I have exams up until the 15th.
Will both productions be screened every day, including the 16th?

Hmmm, I do live only 7 minutes walk away. I'll consider it =)

Sounds like a good prospect, theatre is such a rare occurance in Sydney compared to other entertainment.

Bloody hell Logan, is there anything you don't do? Can you just pick one thing - running a blog, being a journo, programming or directing - instead of all four? You're making the rest of us look completely inadequate.

Sounds like a good night out, unfortunately I'll be traveling.
@Logan: Is this why you stopped game of the week? I miss those. If I had any programming skill whatsoever I'd try one myself.
